Well i apologize my foolishness then, in the hope you accept at least that. I didnt know that the majority of users do benchmarking MAME in their freetime and can only do that with that function. Also i wouldnt mind an ugly full-sized screen saying "System has no screen output" in ugly letters, cause one more or less, what does that matter?

People who just want to play Donkey Kong with their children, would at least know whats going on. Joining the MAME team, never was and never will be my intention. How you come to this conclusion, is beyond my scope.
